St. Patrick Catholic School

The biggest pro is that my child has nice friends and most parents are actively involved in the school. The class size is 26 max for kindergarten and 28 max for other grades. Vice Principal became Principal in 2021-2022 school year. A handful of new teacher hires were made in the last few years. There are also teachers that have been teaching many years at the school. A school counselor has been added for the first time. Classes are evenly split of both genders. Academics can be improved. My child hasn’t been challenged enough. Some teachers are better than others at differentiating and providing enrichment. Teachers are currently being trained in UDL. Socially kids will face the same challenges as they would anywhere else such as fitting in, finding friends, changing friendship dynamics etc. There are 2 classes for every grade. There is a lot of fundraising at the school and additional money to budget for beyond tuition and uniform costs. There is an annual fund, annual gala, golf tournament etc that you will need to donate time to volunteer and/or money to. Safety improvements have been made the last few years. Hopefully I provided some insight to help other families make an informed decision on their child’s education.

This school has changed so much in the past five years. New teacher hires are all qualified and do not teach in the old school boring way. Lots of new things going on in a loving environment. In response to the highly critical review below this, if you can't even spell "principal" correctly, I do not respect your review! If your child is special Ed, this may not be the place for you. The school does not have all the special ed resources you'd find in a public school, and they do not claim to have these resources. The pace is fast and the majority of the kids are above grade level. The addition of a school counselor has been great to help resolve personal issues among kids. My only criticism is large class size. Highly recommend!

Beautiful campus. Most of the teachers are friendly and caring. The staff is mixed. Some are very nice, others not so much. The parents are all in their little clicks and very judgmental and most aren't that friendly. Academically it's OK, but you would expect it to be on a higher level since you're paying so much for your kids to attend this private school. Please note, this school does nothing against bullying. My child was bullied and nothing was done. The staff picks and chooses their favorites (mainly families that donate a lot), and the rest of the kids are left to fend for themselves even where there is wrong doing. My biggest issue is that they do not promote a loving atmosphere. Their beliefs are very old school, "boys will be boys" but girls should act differently. I'm sure there are worse schools out there, but I would not recommend this one.

Amazing ! We are proud to be part of this small and thriving community.

St. Pats is simply a gem! The kindergarten is an especially incredible experience for students. The full-day format allows for students to learn a TON and also participate in so many enjoyable activities. It is unmatched and sets the tone for an unbelievable education all the way up. We are so happy that we found St. Pats!
